Don't know if this will help, but if your rpm database is corrupt, maybe Shadowman's technique will work for you.

Also for people having the NVidia "hide-and-go-seek" RPM problem.
It's a glorious day to die in battle,

Hello,
I just tried to rpm -e my MySQL 3.x rpms in preparation for MySQL 4
when I ran into a bit of trouble.
After trying to # rpm -e mysqlclient9-3.23.22-6 I ended up having to
kill -9 the process after 15 minutes since it seemed to stop
responding.
Now every time I try any rpm query/update/delete, the process goes into
sleep mode and has to be terminated with a kill -9. The output of ps
does not show any "rpm" commands running, and lsof shows the following
rpm-related files in use when rpm isn't stuck in sleep mode:
/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/rpm404module.so
/usr/lib/librpm-4.0.4.so
/usr/lib/librpmdb-4.0.4.so
/usr/lib/librpmio-4.0.4.so
Any ides how I can get rpm responding once more? I'd like to avoid a
reboot, if at all possible.
